Hi everyone!
So basically I have gone from being diagnosed with gestational diabetes in 2016 with a normal BMI and expected pregnancy weight gain, to being diagnosed as Type 1 in 2017 after going in to DKA (wasn't being treated with anything), to now being told I probably have MODY and will be treated as Type 2 following a negative GAD antibodies test!
So I have taken insulin for the last 13 months, but following my last appointment with my endocrinologist last week, due to having negative Type 1 antibodies and a Hba1c of 34, he wanted me to try and come off insulin and to see how I got on with 500mg of Metformin twice a day.
So I took my first tablet this morning and have already experienced stomach cramps and an upset stomach! Is this normal and does it get better? Do you need to limit your carb intake in any way? I used to carb count when on insulin.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks.
